St. Louis real estate expert warns buyers: ‘Get your boxing gloves back on’

“Get your boxing gloves back on.”

That’s the encouragement – and warning – from Kathy Helbig-Strick, owner of Experience Realty Partners in St. Louis.

After more than a year of unpredictability in real estate, largely due to the pandemic, Helbig-Strick said she’s seeing a glimmer of hope.

“We’re starting to see a few less offers on the table than we did six months ago. We’re starting to see some of the sellers’ houses not selling the first week on the market,” she said. “They’re a little more palatable to looking at offers.”
